extended data:
practical significance
the digitalization of central bank's currency helps to optimize the central bank's monetary payment function, improve the central bank's monetary status and the effectiveness of monetary policy. The central bank's digital currency can become an interest bearing asset to meet the holder's reserve demand for safe assets, and can also become the lower limit of bank deposit interest rate
can also become a new monetary policy tool. At the same time, the central bank can affect the bank's deposit and loan interest rate by adjusting the central bank's digital currency interest rate, and help break the zero interest rate lower limit
operation system
fan Yifei, vice governor of the people's Bank of China, said in the article that the digital currency of the people's Bank of China should adopt a two-tier operation system. This model does not change the relationship between creditor's rights and debt of currency in circulation, does not change the existing money supply system and al account structure, does not constitute a competition for commercial banks' deposit currency, and does not increase commercial banks' dependence on the interbank lending market
will not affect the lending ability of commercial banks, and will not lead to the phenomenon of "financial disintermediation". At the same time, because it does not affect the existing monetary policy transmission mechanism, it will not strengthen the pro cyclical effect under the pressure environment, and it can improve the convenience and security of payment, and it also has the credit advantage of central bank endorsement
however, when the digital currency scheme is implemented in the future, cash can still be used universally, because it is determined by China's national conditions. bitcoin, Leyte, decent and other digital currencies may only exist as an asset class in the future.
when people are used to digital currency, paper money will graally withdraw from the circulation market and enter the collection field. In the new environment of payment and circulation, the traditional paper money will become a symbol of an era and a memory of people. The paper money that used to circulate in the market will also become a kind of cultural and artistic investment goods, active on the electronic disk of the post money card. And those earlier and even rarer coins will also stimulate their prices to rise in this situation. It can be seen that the central bank's graal promotion of digital currency will have a profound impact on people's living habits and investment and financial management, which is worth looking forward to Sohu)
however, digital currency does not have to be used for payment. Some domestic application-oriented digital currencies have begun to find another shortcut and come out with a different truth. For example, coin Ying China crowdfunding project token; Puyin group launched the tea based digital currency Puyin.
however, the digital currency that the central bank plans to issue has the monetary attribute and has the credit endorsement of the central bank. The central bank's version of digital money will first be applied to the bill market. It is still difficult for the central bank to popularize the digital currency in China, because the degree of economic development is different across the country
at the same time, there are some applied digital currencies in China. For example, the Puyin digital currency launched by Puyin group is a standard digital currency with credit endorsement of related tea assets.
we are ready to discover digital currency, but it is still in the planning and brewing stage, and there is no formal issue
this project will upgrade the existing currency discovery mechanism, and each unit of currency is given its own special identification mechanism
in addition, the bank account, Zhang Sanhui gives you 100, Li Sihui gives you 100, under the current system, there is no essential difference between the two 100, For you, for the system, the bank account is the same bookkeeping symbol, but under the digital currency mechanism, the system can correctly identify which unit currency, that is, the 200 yuan, is given by Zhang San and which by Li Si. Note that this is in the electronic system, not the actual paper currency, which is equivalent to giving DNA to each unit currency

it is the general trend for the central bank to prepare digital currency, and it is feasible to replace cash transaction with digital transaction in theory and practice. In fact, it is the same. In the future, we will use digital currency more than cash, and digital currency payment will become the mainstream. However, bitcoin, lightcoin and other mainstream cryptocurrencies will be marginalized. There will be more digital currency asset certificates similar to those launched by European crowdfunding, but the service life will not be too long.
